​​Tyler Bowers is well known for his days on the Arenacross Circuit and as the 2011 Champ of the series. Bowers has gained some momentum in the supercross ranks the past few seasons, but hasn't been able to stay consistent enough to attract the attention every rider at the top level hopes for.

The 2018 season has had its challenges for Bowers so far and a huge get off in Oakland left Tyler with a laundry list of injuries that included; four broken ribs, a bruised lung, a broken finger, a bruised shoulder, and a sprained wrist. Anyone who's sustained even one of these injuries, knows how difficult it is to function normally, let alone race race a dirt bike at the professional level. Yet somehow Bowers returned the following week and raced in San Diego.

At round 7 in Arlington, Bowers looked good in his heat race and led most of the race, earning him a ticket to the main event. His biggest complaint according to an interview with Racer X, "I just had a hard time breathing through the main event".

This week Bowers caught a break when he was contacted by the Monster Energy/ Pro Circuit Kawasaki Factory team and asked to fill in for the injured Josh Grant.

With minimal time on the factory ride, Bowers will be lining up on the gate this weekend in Florida for round 8 of the series. It is unknown when Josh Grant will return, but we wish Bowers the very best of luck in the upcoming round and a well deserved congratulations on the factory ride!
